After spending some alone time together with Phoenix, Nightin finally decided to leave on his own first with Dark Fang accompanying him.
He might have the intentions to stay by Phoenix side, but both of them has their respective duties in mind and it would have to wait until they finish what they have to.
"Hey Nix, keep this for me until the day we meet again will ya?" Nightin whispered into Phoenix"s ears as he stuffed an amulet into her hands. It was dropped by his father and he only happened to pick it up before leaving that trail area.
Of course, he wouldn"t let Phoenix in on the origin of this amulet of she would refuse to take it even more.
Phoenix took it over and fiddled the amulet and saw the words "Gale" carved onto the upper side of the emerald.
"Hey, Night, is this perhaps from your father?" Phoenix asked as she stuffed it back into Nightin"s hands, but he pushed it back and explained "This is the most precious item I have on me, so if you don"t wish to feel guilty for taking away my only heart and precious item, you should return to me as soon as possible."
Even though to Nightin, Phoenix was the one who gave him a future, but it was also him who gave her a future and a new lease of time. Since they owed each other, they shall repay each other with everything they have.
The human heart may be pretty conflicting and ways of the heart may always be distorted, but it"s also this mess that gives them the ray of hope in life.
As the two of them sat down on the floor, they cuddled with each other against the wall, it was the last moments they were going to spent together.
"Hey Night, I really don"t want to leave you when we"ve just gotten together for such a short period of time." Phoenix whispered in the silence, her body inching closer to Nightin.
Nightin didn"t answer, but just hugged her and said "Are you willing to wait for me if I have to leave you one day?"
"I will wait." Phoenix replied as tear droplets formed on her eyes as she broke out in tears in Nightin"s embrace. "Wait for me! Promise me that you"ll wait for me!"
Nightin patted Phoenix on the head as he usually would and whispered "Don"t worry, I"ll wait for until the day the stars fall and the universe crumbles."
"What if I never return even until that day comes?" Phoenix asked in concern as she climbed his body and place her lips before Nightin.
"My heart for you will still remain the same as it has been, I swear on the life of my love ones including myself." Nightin said solemnly as his face gradually inched closer to Phoenix.

After Nightin left with Dark Fang, they headed North and pa.s.sed by a few mountains and valleys along the way. Even the strongest demon beasts were only at the peak of the Demon Emperor realm, leaving them nothing but prey in the face of a true predator at the Half Saint Demon realm.
"Young master, how did the experience feel like?" Dark Fang asked abruptly along the way as they leaped over a hill.
"What experience are you talking about? Are you referring to that kiss?" Nightin replied as his face blushed lightly. If he had treated Dark Fang as a subordinate, he would have already raged and lash off at him.
Dark Fang may think so of their relations.h.i.+p, but he"ll make Dark Fang treat him as a friend and understand that he thinks so from the bottom of his heart.
"Kiss! Young master, you mean that was as far as you went?" Dark Fang blurted out rudely as surprise covered his face.
"What else were you expecting?" Nightin asked in a blur manner, curiosity covered his face and his perplexed expression showed Dark Fang that he truly didn"t understand the underlaying meaning.
"And here I"ve been thinking that my young master is finally a grown man worthy of my respect." Dark Fang exclaimed as they continued travelling on the last flat plains approaching the Voyager kingdom.
They could already see the sparkling ocean water which was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with marine life, diverse breeds of fishes could be seen swimming near the surface of the water.
"But still young master, do you need me to spell everything out for you?" Dark Fang asked, hoping for a no as an answer for the first time in his life.
"Yea, that would help." Nightin replied as he waited for Dark Fang to explain everything to him.
After hearing about Dark Fang"s detailed description of what s.e.xual intercourse is and why he thought that way, Nightin blushed as he mocked himself, even a twelve year old kid knows about such indecent knowledge.
Shaking his head to brush off the topic, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Voyager Kingdom gates.
Unlike most kingdoms which have guards stationed at the entrance, they made use of their advance technology to develop a water sensor.
The ident.i.ty of the person will be scanned and known if they have committed any crimes and will be blocked out from entering the Voyager harbour.
The prestigious cultivators or visitors would receive special treatment and privileges.
From the information which Dark Fang had gathered, the status of the person entering the Voyager Kingdom, is actually dependent on the colour which lights up upon entering the kingdom.
The average people who doesn"t stand out or hasn"t committed any serious crime, will light up the white ring when they enter. The pristigeous cultivators would light up a green glow while those who have done evil, would light up a red glow.
Of course, there"s another colour in this kingdom which rarely lights up. The colour of the sea in which the ring rarely activates, for the moment the ring lights up, it means that someone from the Evil Academy is here to be transported to the examination area.
It might seem like nothing much, but only those with high hopes pinned on them, would have their status and information prepared by someone beforehand so that the Voyager Kingdom can receive them.
